Just mix these up and give it a good shake and refresh yourself with this energetic drink!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>LEMON SPORTS DRINK:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sea salt<\/strong>\u00a0is full of electrolytes and minerals. Plus it \u201cplays an important role of balancing the stress hormones during exercise. Salt reduces adrenaline levels and supports overall metabolic health. <strong>Raw honey<\/strong>\u00a0is rich in minerals and easily digestible sugars, which can be used for energy. \u00a0Sugar \u201csignals the body to down-regulate the production of stress hormones like cortisol. Cortisol levels spike during exercise and particularly during anaerobic (when you get breathless) exercise.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For making this drink, you only need 4 cups filtered water, 1\/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1\/4 teaspoon\u00a0celtic sea salt\u00a0or\u00a0real salt and1\/4 cup\u00a0raw honey\u00a0(or more to taste). Mix everything and consume!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>COCONUT WATERMELON WORKOUT DRINK:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not only can watermelon can help reduce muscle soreness after a tough workout, it\u2019s also rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that helps promotes a healthy heart. Mixed with lime and coconut water, this is one flavour-packed drink that tastes nothing like what you\u2019d find in a bottle.<\/p>\n<p>All you need is 1 cup watermelon freshly prepared juice, 1 cup coconut water and 5 tablespoons lime juice. Mix it all together and consume!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ORGANIC GATORADE:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you only eat all-organic everything, most regular sports drinks will likely be a shock to your system. Combine organic coconut water (1 cup) with organic lemons (2 lemons) and oranges (1 orange)for a sports drink with no added chemicals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea behind sports drinks is basically to replace what you\u2019ve lost through sweat in an intense workout.
